Used Q-tips in the linen closet.

empty veggie cans under their beds

Band-Aids in socks

Let them spend the night at Michael Jacksons house

Young man...you are gonna get a spankin'

I don't have boys, but I find lip gloss in the dryer ALL the time. Argh!

Such a rotten kid you are

Peach pits in the dryer

rocks in the washer and vacumned up from all over the house, little toy cars hurt when stepped on in the dark!

Don't forget the millions of Lego pieces! I may not have any girls but I lived with 5 brothers!


But then again, I've had the privilege of stepping on, sorting through and separating, and vacuuming up (which nearly killed my vacuum cleaner on a number of occasions) all the little beads, letters, and shapes from all the bracelets and necklaces we've made over the years!

Ping pong ball in the toilet bowl...teaches 'aim' and doesn't flush...

Escaped pet brown 'tree snake' that turned out to be a brown snake, and venemous


Using siblings undies to polish the car...

A jar full of tadpoles left to ferment under a bed...

kittens do NOT like baths in the toilet; if he could make a gun out of it, he would (he wasn't allowed toy guns, at the age of 2 he made his first and it's been downhill from there); tape is fun to put on cats; cardboard boxes are the best toy of all; if it explodes, the project was done correctly; staring at a girl's boobs WILL get you called out and embarrassed in front of your friends at school; a box of cocoa puffs does not make good fish food

I only have a boy so don't know if girls are different but my son certainly is an eye-opener

The bigger the mud puddle, the more fun to be had. Comin home with a dead snake in ur pocket will freak Mom out.

Oh! Where do I start?!?

Yes, rocks everywhere in the house. He collects them every chance he gets. (And I throw them away every chance I get!)

Peeing on trees is easy to teach a little boy, regardless if mom or dad is teaching it! (What could be more fun then peeing on a tree!)

My son was a bug collector, when he was younger. He would gather box elder bugs by cramming as many as he could into his hand. Flushing them down the toliet was the only way to get him to let go of them.

small rocks in their jacket pocket ...

lined up hot -wheels cars


little action figures in the back pack that have to be brought

everywhere...

OMG, mine too, the whole complete set of Power Rangers

Let's see...

legos that do really hurt when stepped on in the dark
bugs that you find when opening sippy cups from the park
rocks in every pocket imaginable
bits of string inside tiny shoes
pop cans that explode when opened because they saw them shaken on tv
and thought it was funny

But most of all.....

those tiny hands that come in with weeds clutched tightly in their tiny hands just for Mommy
